Guns: An Individual Right Given by the Founding Fathers

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

--2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Such importance was placed on the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, that the Founding Fathers placed it second, only behind freedom of speech, assembly and the press.

The U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear a case that will decide if that right, given to every free citizen of the United States, set forth in the Bill of Rights and reaffirmed throughout American history, can be taken away.
